Need an idea for pie for your Thanksgiving Day? Why don’t you try this Greek yogurt pear pie, it is sure to please everyone around the table?!

Greek Yogurt Pear Pie

This post is brought to you by The Greek Godsยฎ Greek-Style Yogurt, as always these thoughts and opinions are my own.

I have been a little obsessed with pears this fall. It’s funny because usually in the fall I want to bake with apples and pumpkins, forgetting about pears altogether. But this year it is all about the pears and I am loving it.ย 

So when I received an email from The Greek Godsยฎ Greek-Style Yogurt with the challenge of making an irresistible pie, my first thought was a Greek yogurt pear pie. I knew that the combination of the two would be a match made in heaven. Wow was I right!!

Greek Yogurt Pear Pie

To tell the truth, I was a bit nervous about the pie and all. I guess as many of us are, I am my own worst critic. So I had a little taste test with some of the best pie makers I know; my mom and my sister.

Sundays are a gathering time at my mom’s house. Mike and I usually stop by, as well as some of my siblings and their spouses. My mom is one of the best pie makers that I know. She has been making pies for many many years and I knew if she liked it, that it would be good enough to submit for this blog post featuring The Greek Godsยฎ Greek-Style Yogurt.

Well, you guessed it; yes it passed the test with my mom and sister. They both thought it would be a good addition to my blog.

The Greek yogurt and orange juice creates a custard-like mixture which goes lovely with the pears in this pie. In my book, a crunchy crumble topping is a must on this type of pie. Oh and I can’t forget the cinnamon and cardamom for the flavoring, which is another must when we are talking pear pie.

So I hope that you will give The Greek Godsยฎ brand Greek-Style Yogurt a try.
